The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

The moon was like a hook, the dusk was deep, and the cold wind rustled the branches in the barren backyard. The jackdaw perched on the top of the branch, squeaked twice, and disappeared into the night sky with its wings.

The maid with the laundry basket in the courtyard hurried past, and heard a muffled "plop" sound coming from everywhere in the courtyard, she turned her head in surprise, there were rustling sounds in the darkness, and there were a few faint meows of cats. Presumably a stray cat outside came in to catch mice, the servant girl tightened her clothes, feeling that the courtyard was full of ghosts, she hurriedly quickened her pace and left in a hurry.

Outside the pear garden, Forsythia was holding a big paper bag in her hand, and happily said to Jiang Ruan beside her: "Today, Xiaoyuan sent some lily cakes bought outside, and they said they tasted very good. I will go back to the house later, girl." Taste a few."

Jiang Ruan nodded, then looked up at the sky, black clouds covered more than half of the moon, the light outside was hazy, and there were only a few bleak red lanterns on the road. Very weird.

Lianqiao followed Jiang Ruan's gaze and thought for a while: "It's getting dark so early, and it's getting cold outside, girl, be careful not to catch the cold."

"The moon is dark and the wind is high to kill people," Jiang Ruan suddenly smiled: "It's really a beautiful scene."

What she said was strange, Lian Qiao didn't understand, so she looked over, but saw a person hurriedly approaching in the dark, she didn't see clearly until she got closer, it was actually Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao also saw the two of them, and hurriedly stopped, Jiang Ruan nodded slightly.

Chen Zhao saluted: "Miss."

Forsythia was a little nervous to protect Jiang Ruan, she was out of control, meeting this person, it was inevitable that some accident would happen.

Jiang Ruan's gaze followed Chen Zhao's tense expression to his exposed neck, where a bright red family scar was particularly eye-catching, but Chen Zhao himself didn't know it. The corner of Jiang Ruan's lips curled up, but he didn't speak, just stared at him meaningfully.

Under the bleak moonlight, Jiang Ruan's eyebrows were illuminated by the lights and became a little more demonic, as if she had just grown into a vampire in the flowers under the moon. It was clearly a young face, but it seemed to have lived for a long time The evildoer, looking down on all living beings struggling in the world of mortals. Her winking eyes were locked on Chen Zhao with a half-smile, and Chen Zhao just felt that being stared at by those eyes was like being captivated. But looking at it again, it feels like an abyss, with a kind of palpitating fear. This kind of mood alternates between cold and hot, and finally turns into a smile on Jiang Ruan's red lips.

Chen Zhao gritted his teeth, his eyes suddenly burst into flames, thinking that it was because of Jiang Ruan that he provoked Chun Ying, if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have to kill anyone. Now that he killed someone, Jiang Ruan still stayed in the same place, thinking about it, he was full of unwillingness, how could he lose his wife and lose his army?

Seeing the hungry wolf-like gaze in Chen Zhao's eyes, Jiang Ruan glanced at Forsythia, and said lightly, "Let's go, Da Hei Tian, ​​don't provoke any unclean things."

Chen Zhao's body froze, as if a ladle of cold water was poured on his head, it immediately drove away the dryness and heat in his heart. He just felt the wind blowing, and Chunying's eyes wide open before he died were right in front of him. Chen Zhao shivered fiercely, and when he came back to his senses, Jiang and Ruan had already walked away. Then he squeezed his fist and left angrily.

Besides, when the two of them returned to the house, just as Lianqiao put down the Lily Cake, Zisu hurried over, with a nervous expression on her face: "Girl..."

Jiang Ruan waved his hand, motioned for Lian Qiao to close the door, and then sat down beside the bed: "Why?"

"Chunying is dead!" Zisu said.

"What?" Lian Qiao was surprised: "How did she die?"

"Chen Zhao is straightforward," Jiang Ruan sneered, "Chunying is stupid."

Seeing Jiang Ruan's calm expression, not surprised at all, Zisu was taken aback: "Girl... already know?"

"Chen Zhao is irritable and Chun Ying is strong. The two must have a dispute. I wanted to use their dispute to make a fuss, but I didn't want Chen Zhao to be so cruel and murderous." Jiang Ruan said lightly: "But Chun Ying is also to blame. .”

Lian Qiao frowned: "Then Chen Zhao is really not a good person, he is so heartless, but Chun Ying asked him to take the money, and he was seeking skin from a tiger, and he deserved his life if he lost his life!"

Zi Su disagreed: "After all, it's a human life. This Chen Zhao is too scary. Fortunately, the girl is smart, otherwise today would be a catastrophe for us."

"How do you know?" Jiang Ruan asked Zisu.

Zisu paused, and said softly: "Qiuyan told me that she saw Chen Zhao kill someone with her own eyes."

"Qiu Yan?" Jiang Ruan raised his eyebrows: "He is a smart man."

"Girl, Chunying's death has nothing to do with us, right? Chen Zhao killed someone, so it's possible that it's over like this?"

"Chen Zhao planted a disaster for himself." Jiang Ruan chuckled: "We don't need to take the initiative, someone will inform us soon, and things will happen."

Lian Qiao said: "I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. I always feel that this matter is not so simple. Although Chunying's death was not intentional by us, it still has something to do with us."

Jiang Ruan casually picked up the book next to the table: "What are you afraid of? The two of them had an affair and killed people. Could it be possible that they have something to do with me? It's not easy to pour dirty water on me. I can't say I told the two of them to insist on having an affair, if you want to check, just check it out, what can you find out?"

Lian Qiao slapped herself on the forehead: "That's right! The slaves are confused. We didn't expect this matter. It has nothing to do with us. Chun Ying and Chen Zhao have no friendship with us. Even if the official came, we can Straighten your back!"

In this way, Zisu and Lianqiao were relieved, got up to fetch hot water and came back, Jiang Ruan sat under the oil lamp, slowly turning the pages of the book, but his eyes fell on other places.

She lied, she was not surprised by Chunying's death, because she already knew the ending.

Everyone has their own weaknesses and bottom line. Chen Zhao is irritable and suspicious. Chun Ying's repeated demands will only exhaust his patience. critical value. And when the anger and guilt reached the extreme, the violence in Chen Zhao's bones would be aroused, and killing people was a matter of course. And to make all of this happen, she also needs the cooperation of Chunying. Chunying is inherently greedy, and she will not give up if she has the opportunity to get something for nothing.

What Jiang Ruan himself did was to let Zisu bribe a few servants to "unintentionally" mention Chunying's cunning and greed in front of Chen Zhao.

The time and place are right and the people are harmonious, and the spring warbler will die if she does not die.

But if this is the case, she must not tell the two maids. In their eyes, she was just a down-and-out young lady who was forced to the extreme to stand up and resist, but she was still kind in her bones. But only she knows what kind of rotten heart lies under this skin.
